This website has no idea what it is blathering about. “Amicus curae” means “friend of the court.” What it means in this case is that the Supreme Court gave leave for two amicus briefs to be filed....those are briefs filed by non-parties who want to argue one side of the case. Those were filed here. The Court read them, and that’s it. The cases are over.
And you’ll know for the future that whomever runs this website doesn’t know their a** from their elbow.
You’re wrong. That isn’t what amicus curae means. It isn’t an open invitation for other lawyers to come help. It means exactly what I said and the case before the US Supreme Court is over. Today’s denial of cert was their one and only ruling on the case. Hence the dissents filed by Thomas and Alito.
You don’t know whatever it is you think you know, but feel free to believe what you would like, based on the reliable sources of 8kun.
Did you even bother to read the link and see the attached definitions for both Amicus Curiae and Certiorari, as well as the explanation on how granting Certiorari is meaningless when lower courts have no rulings to even supply?
I KNOW the definitions, son. I was a lawyer for nearly fifty years. I think I’ve got a handle on this. But you go on and try to tell me how it all works.
I’ll tell you again, an Amicus brief is a “friend of the Court” brief filed by a non-party. They aren’t parties who come into the case. The cases are over as far as the Supreme Court is concerned. The ruling of the lower courts stand. That’s what denying certiorari means. Again, believe whatever you like.

This website aggregates notables from anons on 8kun, it isn't what you think it is.
The court is allowing the Republicans to file for Amicus Curiae so others can come in to assist the court in the case.
It's amazing how you claim that this is meaningless.
